Prime minister George Papandreou is scheduled to meet with French
President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris on Sunday evening, following talks
with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin on Friday in the Greek
premier's ongoing effort to secure the political support of Greece's EU
partners. Papandreou will also meet with US President Barack Obama in
Washington on Tuesday. After their meeting, scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
(Paris time, 7:00 p.m. Athens time) Papandreou and Sarkozy will make
joint statements to the press.

In statements in Paris on the eve of his talks with Papandreou, Sarkozy
stated his support for Greece, saying that the European Union must
support Greece or risk destroying the euro.

"If we created the euro, we cannot let a country that is in the
eurozone fall. Otherwise, there was no point in creating the euro,"
Sarkozy stressed, adding: "We must support Greece because they are
making an effort."

[02] "Atlas of Nestos River Fish Fauna" drawn up by Greek and Bulgarian
scientists

The fish fauna of the Nestos River on the Greek-Bulgarian border is
characterized by great biodiversity while the presence of many imported
fish species (some of them from as far as Asia) on the Greek side of
the river has negative consequences on local species and the region's
overall ecological balance.

The fish fauna of Nestos River was "mapped" by Greek and Bulgarian
scientists and the common list formed has been included in a book
titled "Atlas of River Nestos' Fish Fauna" translated into Greek,
Bulgarian and English. The book launch took place on March 1, 2010 in
Nea Peramos, near Kavala in northeast Greece.

The joint list constitutes a useful tool in an effort to deal with the
common problems faced by the fish populations on both sides of the
river.

River Nestos has undergone notable environmental changes as a result of
human activities that have a negative effect on the fluvial ecosystem,
degrade the habitats and alter qualitative and quantitatively
characteristics of the fish fauna.

Based on the study, a total of 20 fish species were recorded in the
Greek side of the river, 11 of which are indigenous and the rest come
from other ecosystems.

Project coordinators were Dr. Panos Economidis, Emeritus Professor of
Ichthyology in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) and Dr.
Manos Koutrakis, Associate Researcher in N.AG.RE.F. - FRI from the
Greek side as well as, Dr. Apostolos Apostolou and Dr. Millen Vassilev
from the Institute of Zoology of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and
Dr. Luchezar Pehlivanov from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences -
Central Laboratory of General Ecology.

The economy, prime minister George Papandreou's meeting later in the
day with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, labor action against the
government's measures and opinion polls on the measures were the main
front-page items in Athens' Sunday newspapers.
